Verse 22
The house of Joseph , they also went up against Bethel - That is, the tribe of Ephraim and the half tribe of Manasseh, who dwelt beyond Jordan. Beth-el was not taken by Joshua, though he took Ai, which was nigh to it. Instead of יוסף בית beith Yoseph , "the house of Joseph," ten of Dr. Kennicott's MSS. and six of De Rossi's have יוסף בני beney Yoseph , "the children of Joseph;" and this is the reading of both the Septuagint and Arabic, as well as of two copies in the Hexapla of Origen.
